I am an Associate Professor in Quaternary Geology at NMBU, where my research investigates the dynamics of Arctic and sub-Arctic glaciers throughout the Late Quaternary period. My doctoral research examined plateau icefield glaciation dynamics during the Younger Dryas stadial (~12.9–11.7 ka BP), a period of abrupt climate change that provides critical insights into glacier responses to rapid climatic shifts. Subsequently, my post-doctoral research focused on reconstructing millennial-scale tidewater glacier fluctuations in Greenland, contributing to our understanding of marine-terminating glacier systems and their sensitivity to oceanic and atmospheric forcing.
Overall, my work combines field-based geomorphological studies with geochronological techniques to reconstruct past glacier behaviour and understand climate-glacier interactions in high-latitude environments. Through this research, I aim to improve paleoclimate reconstructions and inform projections of future glacier change in polar regions.
